Previously I thought that trading, like any other industry,
was the same: as long as you worked hard enough, you could get ahead. So I stared at the charts for 16 hours every day—drawing K-line charts over and over, studying dozens of indicators, scrolling the news nonstop for 24 hours. Even when I slept, I kept my phone under my pillow. Whenever the market moved, I’d wake up.
And what happened? The harder I tried, the more I lost.
Later, it gradually clicked for me:
Trading isn’t like construction work. It’s not that if you do one more hour, you’ll earn one more hour of money.
Quite the opposite.
The more frequently you trade, the higher the probability you’ll make mistakes.
The truly profitable trades are often the ones you wait for,
not the ones you force into existence.
Patience—waiting for the right opportunity,
patiently holding the correct position,
patiently letting profits grow on their own—
those stretches of time when it feels like you’re doing nothing,
are actually the most valuable part of trading.
It’s kind of ironic when you think about it:
When I first started, I was always hunting for opportunities, always wanting to trade. In the end, I lost terribly.
Now, I might only make trades once or twice a week—
and yet I earn more than before.
So sometimes I wonder:
are we really competing with the market,
or are we competing with our own “reluctance”?
Reluctant to miss any market move,
reluctant to let the money in the account sit idle,
reluctant to just watch other people make money…
In the end, I realized:
all that reluctance is a trap.
Slow down. Do less.
And you’ll go farther.
